The Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable is available at Mascom International for KSh 340, brand new and sealed in its retail box. It carries up to 27W from a USB-C power adapter into an iPhone's Lightning port, runs one metre long and moves data at 480Mbps. The cord is braided in black, and both plug housings are black metal rather than soft plastic. Amaya is a Chinese mobile-accessories brand, and the Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable belongs to its Super Fast Cable line. You can pick one up at our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order delivery.
Built for iPhone owners across Kenya who have moved to a USB-C charger but still carry a Lightning phone, the Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable handles daily charging, quick top-ups and file transfers to a laptop. Lightning is Apple's plug on iPhone 5 through iPhone 14, older iPads and AirPods cases. The usual problem is a thin cable that frays at the neck after a few weeks in a matatu bag or a boda boda rider's pocket. A braided cord and metal housings resist that wear. With a USB-C PD adapter, a short window between KPLC outages becomes enough time to put real charge back in the phone.
Where many sellers on Luthuli Avenue push unbranded Lightning leads that stop charging within a month, Mascom International sells the Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable sealed, with a 6-month warranty and a receipt. Customers across Nairobi tell us a braided cord is why they stopped buying a new cable every few weeks. Keep in mind that 27W is the most this cable can carry; the speed you actually get depends on your charger and your iPhone. Walk into the Kimathi Street store to hold the Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable in your hand, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable
How much is the Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable in Kenya?
The Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable costs KSh 340, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the one-metre braided cable in its retail box and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. It does not include a power adapter. We deliver on a pay-on-arrival basis, so you can check the box before paying in cash or by M-Pesa. In the same Amaya range, the flat braided ACD-365CL costs KSh 260, which is KSh 80 less.
Will the Amaya ACD-337CL fast-charge my iPhone?
The Amaya ACD-337CL can fast-charge Lightning iPhones from iPhone 8 onward when plugged into a USB-C Power Delivery adapter. Power Delivery, or PD, is the standard that lets a charger and phone agree on a higher power level safely. The cable is rated for up to 27W, but that is a ceiling, not a promise: your adapter's output and your iPhone model decide the real speed. Paired with the Amaya ACW-U54S Wall Charger, a 20W USB-C PD adapter at KSh 500, it makes a matched daily kit.
Which devices work with the Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable?
The Amaya ACD-337CL fits every Apple device with a Lightning port, including iPhone 5 through iPhone 14, older iPads and AirPods charging cases. The other end is USB-C, the small oval reversible plug, so it needs a USB-C adapter, power bank or laptop port as its source. It will not fit iPhone 15 or later, because those models switched to USB-C themselves. It also will not plug into a classic rectangular USB-A charger. If you are unsure which port your device has, send us a photo on WhatsApp.
How does the Amaya ACD-337CL compare with the Amaya ACD-365CL and ACD-CL30?
The Amaya ACD-337CL costs KSh 340, against KSh 260 for the flat braided Amaya ACD-365CL and KSh 360 for the silicone-cord Amaya ACD-CL30. The ACD-365CL shares the 27W rating and 1-metre length but uses a flat cord without metal plug housings. The ACD-CL30 is rated PD 25W, with a soft silicone cord that comes in black, yellow or blue. Choose the ACD-365CL as a budget spare, the ACD-CL30 for colour and softness, and the ACD-337CL for metal housings and a round braided cord.
Is the Amaya ACD-337CL good for power banks during KPLC power cuts?
The Amaya ACD-337CL works with any power bank that has a USB-C output port, which makes it useful during KPLC power cuts. If the power bank supports USB-C PD, your iPhone charges faster than it would from an old USB-A brick. That matters when the lights return for only an hour in Kasarani or Kitengela. The braided cord and metal plugs also cope with dust and heat in a car or market stall better than thin plastic leads. Confirm your power bank has a USB-C output before buying.
Can I move photos from my iPhone to a laptop with the Amaya ACD-337CL?
Yes, the Amaya ACD-337CL carries data at 480Mbps, which is USB 2.0 speed, so it moves photos, videos and backups to any laptop with a USB-C port. Lightning iPhones transfer at USB 2.0 speed themselves, so a faster-rated cable would not speed things up. Students printing assignments at cyber cafés along Moi Avenue can pull files straight off the phone. On a Mac, Finder runs full wired backups; on Windows, the Photos app imports pictures once you tap Trust on the iPhone.
Who should buy the Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable, and who should skip it?
The Amaya ACD-337CL suits anyone with a Lightning iPhone, iPad or AirPods case who already owns, or plans to buy, a USB-C charger. Office workers in Westlands and hostel students at Kenyatta University or JKUAT get a cord that lasts. Skip it if you own iPhone 15 or later; the Amaya ACD-CC77 Type-C to Type-C Cable at KSh 130 fits those. Skip it too if your charger only has a USB-A port; the Amaya ACD-L77 USB to Lightning Cable at KSh 110 suits that setup.
How can I tell the Amaya ACD-337CL I am buying is genuine?
A genuine Amaya ACD-337CL comes sealed in an Amaya retail box printed with Super Fast Cable, 27W max, Type-C to Lightning, 1M length and 480Mbps data transfer. The cord is braided black and both plug housings are black metal. Counterfeit Lightning cables sold loose on River Road often use thin plastic and lack these markings. Mascom International buys Amaya stock directly and issues a receipt and 6-month warranty with every sale, so you have a walk-in shop to return to if anything fails.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- Type-C to Lightning connection — USB-C plug on one end, Apple's Lightning plug on the other, for iPhones and older iPads.
- 27W power rating — the most the cable can carry; actual speed depends on your adapter and your device.
- Part of Amaya's Super Fast Cable line — built for quick charging from USB-C adapters rather than slow USB-A bricks.
- Charging and data in one cord — the same cable tops up the phone and links it to a computer.
- Single-device design — charges one Lightning device at a time, with no splitter or extra heads to lose.
Charging Performance
- Works with USB-C Power Delivery adapters — PD lets the charger and iPhone agree on a higher, safe power level.
- Pairs with the Amaya ACW-U54S Wall Charger — a 20W USB-C PD adapter sold at Mascom International for KSh 500.
- Higher-watt chargers are safe — the phone draws only the power it needs, so a laptop charger will not harm it.
- Power bank ready — any power bank with a USB-C output can feed an iPhone through this cable.
- Laptop USB-C ports — plug into a MacBook or Windows laptop to top up gently while you work.
Data Transfer
- 480Mbps data rate — USB 2.0 speed, enough to move photos, videos and backups between iPhone and computer.
- Matches Lightning's own data limit — Lightning iPhones transfer at USB 2.0 speed, so the cable is never the bottleneck.
- Photo import on Windows — connect to a laptop's USB-C port and pull pictures off through the Photos app.
- Wired backups on Mac — Finder can run a full iPhone backup over this cable without needing Wi-Fi.
- Wired CarPlay in cars with a USB-C port — CarPlay needs a data-capable cable, and this one carries data.
Compatibility
- iPhone 5 to iPhone 14 — every iPhone in that range uses the Lightning port this cable fits.
- Older iPads and iPad mini models with Lightning — check your iPad has a Lightning port, not USB-C, first.
- AirPods with a Lightning charging case — tops up the case from the same USB-C adapter as your phone.
- Not for iPhone 15 or later — those models use USB-C and need a Type-C to Type-C cable instead.
- USB-C sources only — the input end will not fit a classic rectangular USB-A charger or computer port.
Build and Durability
- Braided black cord — a woven outer sleeve that resists fraying, kinks and small cuts better than plain plastic.
- Black metal plug housings — the casing around each plug resists cracking at the point where cheap cables fail first.
- 1 metre length — reaches from a wall socket to a bedside table or desk without loose slack on the floor.
- Reversible USB-C plug — the oval end goes in either way up, so there is no fumbling in the dark.
- Dark finish hides grime — black braid shows less dirt from bags and pockets than a white cable does.
Inclusions
- One Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable — 1 metre, braided black, in its sealed Amaya retail box.
- No power adapter included — pair it with a USB-C PD charger sold separately at Mascom International.
- Sealed brand-new stock — never opened or returned, handed over straight from the Amaya retail box.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims at the Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — inspect the box and the cable before you pay for your order.
